I'm trying to pad the text of a RadComboBoxItem with spaces (to create a sense of hierarchy). This works fine with a regular HTML select control:

<select>

<option>Item 1</option>

<option>  Item 1.1</option>

<option>  Item 1.2</option>

<option>Item 2</option>

<option>  Item 2.1</option>

<option>    Item 2.1.1</option>

<option>    Item 2.1.2</option>

<option>Item 3</option>

<option>  Item 3.1</option>

<option>  Item 3.2</option>

</select>

However, when I try to set the text property of a RadComboBoxItem using html entities ( ), the control seems to be escaping the characters so it shows up exactly as typed instead of showing up as an actual space:item.Text = padding + asset.AssetName;

string padding = "";

for(int i = 0; i < depth; i++)

padding += " ";

RadComboBoxItem item = new RadComboBoxItem();

item.Value = asset.AssetID.ToString();

item.Text = padding + asset.AssetName;

item.Enabled = (asset.Type == AssetType.AppSet);

item.Selected = (asset.AssetID == ParentAssetID);

rcb.Items.Add(item);

Any ideas about how to prevent the RadComboBox from escaping HTML entities?
